Anyone besides me having weird HDMI issues using the XBOX 360? I get no video, and sporadic to no audio at all. I did the firmware update on page 1 of this thread successfully and swapped out HDMI cables - all to no avail. My PS3 plays movies and games flawlessly through the same HDMI ports. The only thing that works is running the HDMI from the projector straight into the XBOX. Only then do I get video with audio coming from the projector speaker. Is there some incompatibility with the Pioneer and the XBOX, or is my SC-1522 defective. Thanks for any input.

Dammit, I love this receiver but I think it just kick the bucket. I got pictures but no sound coming out. It was working fine last night, I try to finish my movie from last night but nothing, zipp, nada, no sound coming from any Hdmi source. Apple TV, cable box, ps3, bdp62. Picture is there though. Any one know how to do a hard reset?

Anybody have an idea on how to hook up the included FM antenna? It looks like a wire with a metal piece at the end - am I supposed to just pug it directly to the nub coming out of the FM antenna port on the receiver? Seems ghetto, could really use some advice!

You will need to get an adaptor/transformer that has a coax plug on one end and two terminal screws on the other end for the FM wire.
Use the link below to get an idea of what you'll need to look for or look up Radio Shack part # 15-1253.

What am I doing wrong?
I just set up my 1522 like these:
Blu ray thru hdmi: works fine.
DVD changer thru component and coax digital input: works fine.
Optimum set top box thru hdmi : I get video but no audio.
I changed hdmi cables at least 4 times.
I got new cable boxes twice.
I made sure cable box had hdmi output for audio.
I used different hdmi inputs on 1522, still no audio.

Do you think, it is 1522? Do I need to change my receivers?

I am tired of trouble shooting.

Any other suggestions.

Cable box works fine when connected to TV directly in other rooms.

Thanks.

I am having a similar problem with my XBOX 360. Perhaps there is something random going on with how the 1522 handles the HDMI handshake with different devices. I swapped out cables, but still no go. I may have to return it to Costco and swap receivers. I'll let you know if I have the same issues.

Just a thought. Do you have the receiver set to get audio from the tv via ARC? If the receiver is expecting to get the audio signal from the tv, that could explain why you're getting no audio but you are getting video.
I haven't had Optimum in over 4 years so other than the thought above, I can't be of more assistance to you.

Hi spacecowboy, go into Xbox 360 display menu and try turning off "Display Discovery" and see if that helps.

I tried the intruction above since im having same issue with the Bass but my problem is in SPEAKER SYSTEM i dont have option to pick Normal(SB/FW) when i push the right menu to change mine is set to 7.1ch Front Bi-Amp and no choice of Normal (SB/FW) is there something im missing?

You do not need to change the speaker system. When you run MCACC, the AVR automatically knows how to speakers are set up. Unless, you have the front in passibe bi-amp, which you will have to change. I just want to also remind you this set up was done for the 1222, which is similar to the 1522. The 1522 has a few features that work a little different.

So you are trying to set it up as 7.1 biamping the front and also have Front wides?

I get this sometimes with my directv receiver where there is picture but no audio. I have to turn off the pioneer receiver and turn it back to get the sound. This happens when changing inputs and not on power up. Sometimes after 3 minutes (if left on) the audio will come back. Only one time I got scrabbled sound from my PS3. It is starting to make me wonder.

It worked!!! Thank you JChin! You saved me the hassle of a return/setup. I had "Display Discovery" enabled, so I turned it off and it works now. Also a big thanks to FoxBat and everyone else passing along info to get the most out of this receiver.

I replaced one more cable box. Got sound and picture, no problem. Changed channels etc. No problem. After watching a movie turned off everything and restarted everything. Same problem again. No sound !!! I am going to get a new receiver and see. Otherwise I am back to my 10 year old receiver.
My Costco has few in stock. Thank god.

Thanks for the reply....i have 5.1 set up and biamping the 2 fronts left and right speakers... the Macc sets my speaker system to 7.1ch Bi-Amp with Front Bi-amp Center : Normal SUrr: Normal SB:Normal Surr Pos: in rear

Ok, I see what you mean now. The only thing I can think of is which channel are you using to biamp your front speakers? At the moment I am getting ready for work so I can't get into the back of my AVR and manual to see the biamping option. Hopefully, someone else can help you. If not I will try it out when I get back from work.

I've got a Logitech Harmony One remote, and I'm wondering if and how can I set up a "activity" on it's main screen to go directly to Pandora on the 1522? I've looked and can't seem to find anything on this. I'm sure it's possible because I can do this on my Android phone, but there doesn't seem to be a button for Pandora on the remote, just "Net" which toggles through inputs. Any ideas? Thanks!

Go to the Remote Control section here on AVS or Remote Central site for answers to your question.

Whenever you use bi-amp, there will be no other options because the fw amps are occupied.

It looks like MCACC auto set all speakers to large which is a common complaint. Unless your speakers can really go full range, you will be better served by setting them to small for better bass. If you decide to leave fronts as large, set subwoofer to Plus.

Given other discussions on this forum, it sounds to me like Pioneer's quality control isn't all that great, and so both are possible.

UPDATE: I bought another one, with a very different build month, and I have exactly the same buzzing/humming sound from the same place. So with two units behaving identically, that points much more towards it being a problem with this receiver's power supply design and my home's power.

Still, interesting that the older Denon's power supply doesn't have an issue.
